J>Hmmmm.

J>Belief is more cognitive.

J>Faith is more experiential.

Nope. 

Faith is but trust in one's belief BEYOND reason.

J>Beliefs are subject to explanation...and can be attempts to share.

Huh?

J>(I may get around to changing that sentence so that it makes some
J>sense...but as I'm writing on the fly...:-)

J>My Belief in Buddhism I can try to explain/share

J>My Faith in Buddhism --- impossible.

OF COURSE you (one could) explain the faith in, and the reasoning behind 
faith in, one's Buddhist belief(s).

J>At some point our understanding of the world around us

J>A given when we first become cognitive critters. But the wave of less

At 76 you should have "fingered out" that absolutes aren't.
